The maximum number of employees, 1.246, was now in the branch, which represented an increase in five years of 47 em- ployees while the yield was not far front being dotthlerl. The present cost of collection, he said, was about I 1-2 per cent. The rates, he point- ed out, had not substantially increased in the five years. although there had been special rates imposed, such as the surtax in 1934-35 which produced over $3,000,000 in revenue.

to having passed a hemlock or any other species of arboreal growth. What is your correspondents mo- tive in this persistence of misre- presentation? Surely he has a. 1111:1161" ldeu of (llaleotics than he would ttlve me the impression he possesses by his resort. to such de- sDlcable ntetltods?

Moreover, throughout, his letter, M. M. N. has been very careless in his use of language and if I were bold etiouizh to offer him a sugges- tion. it. would be that. he try, ln futtuie, to be more precise in his choice of words. A great. moralist has said: “To trifle with the vocab- ulary which 1s the vehicle-of social intercourse is to tamper with the currency of human tizmtelligence." I

Finally, your correspondent dis- misses my poor letter by asking “what has ull this to do with the school curriculum?" I am sure that, for the llfe of me, I cannot say. since I was not; writing with reference 1o any curriculum - st-hool. or otherwise. I was merely trying‘ show. in my own weak wa_v,_t,l1a1. there are other more til-easing subjects to consider, if the "tvoizd 1s not to be lost," than the study of either Greek or Latin.
